GARDEN NEWS FROM KATELYN, OUR GROUNDSKEEPER LEADER
Hey, wonderful GARDEN VOLUNTEERS! Are you asking when the Klamath Art Gallery Garden Work Parties will begin?
Here are the dates, which are the last Saturdays, of these months: April 29, June 24, August 26 and October 28.
We will work from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. Please bring work gloves and an appetite for cinnamon rolls!
If mowing needs to be done between these dates, let me know if you can mow. The mower will be checked to see if it will turn on easily.
Some jobs are to scrape the moss off of the roofs of the two out buildings, trim bushes and trees, plant bulbs and flowers, rake leaves and cut edges.
If you have bulbs, bushes or flower plants, like pansies, to donate, let me know!
There will be bottles of water, coffee and cinnamon rolls for all gardeners – yummy : )
If you wish to help, please mark these dates on your calendar and add my phone number to your address list so you can text me at 916-807-9579 or email me at katelynf@live.com.
I will be looking forward to hearing from you so we will have fun times and your help and/or donations are greatly appreciated…
Let’s spring into the green season!
